It must be wdl rwtembered by those who attend to public affairs& that when his - Majesty thought pro per to dismiss his late Ministers, the Mayor and Corporation of Lineolif'deemed it their duty to ap, roach the Throne with a loyal Addryss, expressive of their 'gratitude to ourloOd King for his fatherly care of" the Civil and Religious Establishments of the Country, as settled a; the glorious ReA , olntion," and " for the signal instatiee of his unceasing vigi lance,: constitutional and conscientious regard for those invaluable blessings,, manifested by hit lirin and determinate resistance to a: ineisure 'recently brOught.‘forward by his late Ministers." BUt this is not-all, for the Address teStitied " the deep and serious concern of the subscribers in havim observed that a invieatte, introduced at first with much restric tion, but, even So restricted, grtiatly alarming to his Diait,sq mind, and repugnant to his sense of cloy, should have been extended without clue explanation to his Majesly, to suCli'a length as to eridan,..ver' Ike fundamental j'inciples of the COlatilkiioll, both in Church and' State." The' , Mayor and Chrp6ration prjpeided'aiso in the Address alluded to, to express their'' strung disapprobltion oath, condaa of those persous who ,pioposed that treasure, upon the al ledeci plea that it.. vowt aidkppl)scibly tieceSsary f6r the tranquillity and safety of the liaripiri yet, when his 'Ma j esty's bellSe , 01 sacrtal and bounden duty prevented its adoption, abandoned he 'ineasure,.`but still persevered to retain ,their station of Minister 4, and,propmed , conditions unwarrantable, unconstiiik• tionril,,and insulting to their itoyal i'vlaNtar, t e nding to make themselves parties against their SoVereign, aud to render unfavourable in 'the eyes of the people a just eiercise of the undoubted prerogative of the Crown, which a perepulotas .regard to his . Coro ' nation Oath compelled his Maros , to resort to. After these observslions, d Mayor and Corpora tion naturally and jimily deelne, that the Preroga tive in question, which they truly gay had " ever been exercised by his Musty most favourably to the liberty of the Subject," and theraffirtri, that " it has never been exerted . more necessarily, more Wisely, or more acceptably to the people than in the present instance." Surely,, Mr. Editor, after so grave and so solemn * declaration of their re mpat and gratitude to his Majesty, for his vigilant attention and decisive sup port of the true interests of the Constitution, and after such a marked' condemnation of the cumin& of the late Ministers, a greater regard to consistency of character ;night have been expeaed front the Mayor and Corporation of the ancient and respeet :able City of Lincoln. Yet instead of eleCtin:' a Candidate of manly character and independent prin cipki, g man who had often risked his life, and had achieved glory in the service of his Country, Colenel 1-LtacounT, thil Mayor and Corporation thought proper to ,ehuse Lunt ME7OO/WUCH, a candidate known to be attached to those very Mi nisters whom they had previously 'expressed their gratitude to his Majesty tot having dismissed, be ' seause „they had proposed a measure that threatened danger to the Itindamentill priliciples of the Con stitution' in Church and State l Ab it would be dif ficult itioeed td point out any qualification hi Lord tinxsorcouon that entitled, him to pretend to the honour of representing the City of Lincoln in pre ference to Colonel HAttcouier, whose services W his, Coin, try are well known, the inference must be wrongly against the poblic spirit, the consistency o, 'character, and the common sense of this Mayor and Corporation But it would be highly improper to involve 'the charatier of the people ot . ..1,10e41n in general, with those who have:B6oin such aiatnetrical opposition to their own : recorded sett ti MVP tip cl proceedings.

About seven o'clock in the -evening, Aries Simons, . one of the Prisoners, endeavouring to make 'his escape, was called to by the Sentinel on. duty, but making no answer, and having jumped upon the railing which separates the inn yard from the adjoining one, the Sentinel u •after having called to hint again, fired at and wounded him so that he died about go minutes afterwards. The ball entered at, the bick, passed through the lungs, fraCtured four of the ribs, and came out at the collar-bone. On the following morning an In quest was held upon the body,. Ity JOHN ATKINSON, Cent. Coroner for the Hundred. of', Nessaburgh, when, after a close investigation of nearly lour hours, the Jury t which was a highly respeEtable one) returned a Verdict of Justifiable Homicide. And on Monday afternoon last another Inquest was taken before the same Coroner, on view of ,the body of Richard AndrewS, - a Prisoner in the Howie . of Cerreelion at Peterborough. It appeared that ' th& poor fellow, abOut ten months since, into the.

AndreWs, however, found means to elude the vigilance of his guard during tite night, and crept out of the house to a neighbouring yard, 'where he lay concealed three days and three nights in the late inclement - weather. On :the fourth day; when found and taken, he was almost starved to death, having several of his toes nearly frozen Mt On being taken to prison at Peterbo- - rough, Captain MORRICE, of “re Marines, very' humanely procured Mecticeassistaoce for him, but he died on Monday morning.

He said 'the Prolee.aiar Was the execntor of the late Mr: Gould, and'as such conne6,ed with the concerns of eh e Opera Hensel. It xeis unnecessary to advert to the dispbles that tiad taken place in that' Theatre between Mr. Waters and tfr. Tayler,though the present , asSault might ba considered as growing out of that circuinstance.-eSt tl Ice it,- that Mr. ters was exercising his right ilfjoiet Manager in the Theatre, when Mr. D'Egyillc, who aced as a sort of sub-maneger in the ahsence. of Mr, Taylor, chose! to interfere with the ,werktraen. employed by .Mr. • Waters; an altercation ensued; end Mr. Waters re• ceived a violent bIOW from the .Herculean fist ,of Mr. D'Egville. Mr. Waters retired, feeling that he • was as much ableto'contend with M,r. D'Egville as a child would be to grapple with a giaelt. Such was I the assault of which he had. to complain, and ' the relation in which the parties stood, Mr. Waeers being the Joint Proprietor and Manager'of the' property, and Mr. D'Egville being only one of the persons employed in the concern ; his conduct wa's therefore the more imprudent and reprehensible. Mr. Waters. was then Called into tilt box, and . stated, that he was in the Opera House o it the 24th of Wither last, looking after the work mei eand conversing with Mr. Marinari, the scene ; painter, . he heard Mr. D'Egville disputing with the carpenters respeaing a bench; He went to 'the work men, and learning the cause of the dispute, recomo tended Mr. D'Egville to take another bench. No, he would have the one ,in question ; and, by G—d ,he would knock any one down who obstructed /him. 1 I ),t Prosecutor then satU, " You shall knock t ne dowt • ; and laying' his hands on the bench to prevent its !te tnoear,• Mr. D'Egville struck him a violeeit blow On the left breast, and beat him against one of the 4rar ters that Support the building. At the 6'11.4 . . .lak ing the blow, Mr. D'Egville exclaimed; " 'What ! do you strike me %" and running to the 4taircase,. said, " I'll seen settle you." Trio Prosecuteir shert- Iy after left the Theatre, and went tei Marlbt n-ough street to obtalo a warrant ; but Mr, D'Egvill in the Mean time had obtained a warrant for him t it BOW street, and as he was leaving the Marlboroug;h-street Office, it watt Served upon him. On cross-examination, Mr. Waters said, that he certainly passed between Mr. D'Egville rind the bench before he wa's struck; hut he was tined unions allinving run against him, or' even touched h William thlers, a carpenter, 'Oben TnckeT, ano ther workman, and Mr. 'Lees, clerk of the work men, corrobbrated the Prosecutor's evidence, rand all agreed that Mr. D'Egville struck him a severe. blow. Mr. Waters was obliged to be let blood, t o take away the pain seated in the chest. . Mr. MAIIRYATT, Counsel for the Defendan.t,• ad mitted the blow, btu contended, that it was itt con sequence of the Defendanea being jostled by Mr. 'Waters as he passed between hint stud OW beach. Independently, however, of that, he would leive it to the Jury to say, whether Mr. Waters, by daring the Delendapt to strike him, gad nut provoked ti lt , - ' blow he'complained,of ? • • . Lo4l,Eeeesraciatoewt said, as the blow had been admitted, the Jury would say if they perceived 'airy . • thieg, in Mr. Waters's conduet to induce it, and 'if not they would find the Defendant guilty.' The Jury immediately found a verdict of Guilty. TIIESPASS. • MEWSTER V.

The Defendant-.peat the 113intiff Severely, breaking his nose, knocking two of his teeth out, and seating a bad contusion over his eye. He pleaded-, however, a justification, in asmuch as he said the Plaintiff had first spit in .his face.
